A bit about this blog
This blog was started in June 2009 as a result of a 1 week graduate level course taught at VanderCook College of Music's MECA program in Chicago, IL taught by Daryl Silberman. The participants were 18 veteran orchestra teachers and the first entries are the results of their final project outlining what information is most valuable to them as a result of this course.
